Volkswagen Tiguan Diesel Particulate Filter DPF

A diesel particulate filter (DPF) traps soot and fine particles from the exhaust gases of diesel engines. It's critical for reducing emissions, keeping your Volkswagen Tiguan compliant with Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards. A properly working filter also supports the function of the catalytic converter and EGR system.

If you see the DPF warning light, it means your filter is blocked and regeneration hasn't occurred properly. This may be due to repeated low-speed driving, short trips, or a faulty sensor. Taking prompt action can prevent costly repairs or engine issues.

You can—but only briefly. Try a regeneration drive: 15–20 minutes at consistent motorway speed. If the light stays on, it's best to stop and contact an authorised technician or seek assistance from Krosfou's support team.

Cleaning options include:

• Passive regeneration by driving at motorway speed
• Using an automatic foam cleaner
• Booking a professional DPF cleaning service

If none of these methods work, it's time to change the filter.

Here's a summary of what to watch out for:

• DPF warning light
• Reduced throttle response or performance
• Decreased fuel economy
• Diesel smell from the exhaust

These symptoms usually point to a filter blocked with soot and needing service.

Use an OBD2 tool to monitor pressure levels, check for fault codes, or review soot load data. Alternatively, book a diagnostic appointment at your local garage to get a full report on the filter's condition.

If the issue is resolved, the system may reset automatically. If not, use a diagnostic tool or follow the manufacturer's reset procedure. Never reset a DPF warning light without correcting the underlying cause—it could lead to engine damage or faulty sensor readings.
